you know, it turned out that more people watched the democrat natl enti onbisr anywhere else on cable which is awesome and thanks to you for watching that here. but now up next, presidential debates. they start next week, a week from tonight. i'll be here in new york, chris matthews will be in denver. the debates are starting. tonight, the romney campaign e htf its own lies is actually sinking. because mitt romney got caught telling the truth about how he really fls about 47% of the american people. >> president obama and i both reut pandd

class families. >> we have brand new polling out this morning. >> three new polls out today. >> three separate swing states. >> show voters trend ago way from him. >> barack obama is a little bit ahd athis me >> because the closer we get to the election, the dumber mitt romney appears to be getting. >> there's no question we've made a couple of mistakes. >> time that cruel cru mistress is slipping away. >> you may have noticed there's an election going on here in oh, i don't see a lot of victims. i see hard working ohioans. >> we can't afford four more years like the last four years. >> how many times can you visit the state of ohio before they get tired of seeinyou. trip. h9t >> if we win ohio, we'll win this election. >> if we win ohio, we win the election. >> governor romney has logged 17 trips.

>> no republican in history has thesency without ohio. >> romney, ryan. >> oh, sweet jesus. >> make no mistake, ohio, big problem. >> so you're a big romney supporter. >> if we don't run chris christie, romney wl be the miand lle. t laor with just 41 days until the presidential election, new swing state polls show that the secretly recorded tape revealing mitt romney's inteion to abandon 37% of the american people if elected president is actually having the effect you would expect. romney's secretly recorded words are crushing his campaign. a new poll shows president obama inn tsadmi romney in ohio, which is where abc news found mitt romney

tonight and confronted him about the heavy words he dropped on 47% of the american people. >> about the people yosaid you ose y words. ie to take >> what i'm talking about is a political process. i don't expect to get 100% of the vote. i hope to get 50-plus % and make sure i get the nt president. >> that was his answer to the worst possle thing he could have said in his cpaig tt was the best he could respond with. notice that no where in that answer does mitt romney attempt to actually repair the damage of his secretly recorded words. he simply says i'm just trying to get more than 50% of the vote. no word of explanation. no attempt of an apology to any w d saisricavote wave >> 47% of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. all right? there are 47% who are with him, who are dependent upon vernment, who believe they are

victims, who believe that they artitoltre food, to housing. they pay no income tax. >> president obama has no intention of allowing mitt romney to run away from those heavy words, especially in ohio. >> don't believe we are going to get very far. if we've gotears who write-off half t natn h ic w don take responsibility for their own lives. let me tell you. i have spent a lot of time in ohio, and i don't meet a lot of victims. i see a lot of hard-working ohioans. >> a new poll shows 54% of mt romney'sords unfavablynd 32% are favorable to what mitt

romney had to say. that same poll shows that 61% of americans have an unfavorable opinion of the way mitt mney is running his campaign. that's up 12 points from july. 54% americans have a favorable opinion of the way mitt romney is running his campaign. that's up 8 points from july. the romney campaign tried to bailut their sinking ship today by handi mitromn is st. >> too many americans are struggling to find work in today's economy. too many of those who are working are living paycheck to paycheck, trying to make falling incomes meetising prices for food and gas. momensre ling in poverty than when president obama took office and 15 million more are on food stamps. president obama and i both care about poor and middle class families. the difference is, my policies will make things better for em.

>>ortelyromney could not remember any of those lines of that script when he was trying to answer the abc news question about those heavy words. here is how the democratic national committee responded to that romney ad. too many americans are struggling to find work in today's economy. >> i like being able to fire people. >> too many of those who are working are living paycheck to paycheck. >> i'm tell you what. 10,000 bucks? >> president obama and i both care about poor and middle class families. >> i'm not concerned about the very poor. >> t dreispoes mth br them. >> and so my job is not to worry about those people. they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives. >> i'm mitt romney and i approved this meage. >> accorng ta new york times , g lyer ohprenamadmitt romney now about 10 points. in florida president obama leads

by 9 points. in pennsylvania, the president ads by 12 pots. and according to a new bloomberg poll, president obama leads by 6 points. tonight nate silver fraufts that on november 6, president obama will opinion 316 votes anditt roey will within 222. and president obama's chance of winning the election is at 81.9%. the highest of this campaign cle. joy reid, i will bet you10 the goto ace of that secret tape, about the 47% in most of the obama and team obama campaign ads for the rest of the way. >> it is going to be on an

endless loop from now until election day. that is for sure because it's so effective. in a way democrats should thank him. he ripped the veil off something like 30 years republican fooling working cls people into thinking you kw what ge aheocts are the party of labor but we really get you. he's showing they don't not only get working class people they don't seem to like them very much. i think mitt romney is like the guy who has to show up at a nnerartyfterei erheard insulting half the guests. a lot of people in the crowd are 47ers, he looks awkward and out of place. >> joy speaks for me. >> the great thing about where we are is that the statement that is controlling this campaign at this point is, as far as we know, the one true thing that mitt romney has said in the course of the entire campaign. i mean, my assessment that

tape is, the feel that i have for that guy is, that was the isenyl ey thatas it. >> i don't know what the real romney is. >> i'm guessing. >> i havno clue. that's him at that moment that .ay, i don't know who the guy i have never known who he is. i think he's the worst candidate that i have ever seen running on either ticket. but what the tape illustrates -- >> how oldere you when spiro agnew was ruing r vi pren >>he problem that romney has now is the kind of worry about coencalcification of that his incompetence is beginning to calcify in the

minds of voters. that people get to a point where there is no recovery. it has become so solid in their thinking that this is just a guy who's not up to the task. and part of that is policy, d part of that is just imsiti the policy piece he won't divulge what he's actually going to do. so it's hard to go anywhere in america and satell me what mitt romney stands for, policy-wise. d it verhardor ppl an t becse all they can say is, well, he's for lower taxes and he wants to give everybody a job. but where are the jobs coming from? and if he lowers taxes, for whom is he lowering taxes and do lower class people or middle income pay for that. and there's the impressionistic part which is complicated complicated by all these gaffes. he cannot keep the foot out of his mouth. that is a problem for him. you look to leaders to be leaders both in policy and impression.

tcat t a negotiate with somebody. world leaders or whomever. you don't get that sense from mitt romney. mitt romney, the impression you get from him is that this is a loser and nobody wants loser. >> y're puine fier incoet icrl obrvation which i have not made. the totality of them, as you pot out, this person isn't really competent at what he's trying to do what he's trying to do right now is run f president. whenou frent t thyon'y that, and that may be what you're seeing in that poll number that says these people don't approve of the way he's running his campaign. >> absolutely. because you take the partisans, a sepate issue, partisans are partisan because of policy. you believe that, you know, life begins at inception, it's hard to move from that position.

if you believe in the sovereignty of your body, whoever you sleep with or how you choose to exercise your health, it's hard to movfrom that policy position. if you're one of t pe in thdd take or leave certain pieces of this and i'm kind of going with the guy, the person who appeals to me on a visceral based level, this person es not connect in that way. he is not a competent figure when all things are taken together. >> bill o'reilly thinks he's got romney's problem figured out. >>he problem mt romney has 's oucth rioat folks. the president has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on ads stating that and the governor does come across as a classic rich guy. it's tough to picture him super sizi his meal at mcdonald's. >> this is the old fashied

analysis that he's out of touch. i think charles's point trumps all of this that really what is coming across to people, he's not competent. ths ibhestng that could come across. >> i was waiting for charles to say the word loser. the thing is for romney not only does it calcify among the electorate -- >> loser. i would never go that far. >> loser is deadly in a campaign because it starts to affect donors. nobody wants to put money behind a lowester. it starts to affect the media's impression of you. it becomes a metastasizing cancer in any campaign. the only thing i would take ise with is that i think leknhaeynk he would do. that's the other problem. when you look add the the ohio poll, there was a story in the

washington post where obama and e ofheplo e.plitting seniors. >> romney should be ared. >> he should be way ahead. you know what, he just wants to help out his fellow rich brothers and not me. that's dangerous. rnhammarized how hard ough this it is for republicans this morning. let's listen to joe. >> wait a second. romn, ryan! ere g that's great. thank you. >> oh, sweet jesus. >> how do you fix that? >> you don't fix it. >> he is a great businessman, great turnaround guy if i had a business anywhere in the world, i'd ha himun i he's a horrible politician.

he's one of the worst. >> that had loser written all over it. we are in unanimous agreement in joe scarborough. that made me sad. >> joy reid and charles thank you for joining me tonight. coming up, mitt romney is now ntractinhif. within minutes he said one thing to nbc news backstage tonight before going on stage at a rally in ohio and saying thexact opposite. and the man who said mitt romney d dtrdeto against president obama is now giving mitt romney advice on how to debate president obama. that's coming up with jonathan cape heart.

don't forget, i got everybody in state insured. 100% of the kids in our state have health insurance. don't think there's anything that shows more empathabou thcaf pe iis country than that kind of record. >> so 100% of the kids in massachusetts are now entitled to health care thanks toitt romney. that also means those kids are among the people romy condemns utr evthre other side his entitled to health care. and right after romney beamed with pride for making health care an entitlement for virtually everyone in histate, the same mitt romney got up on stage minus later and said this. >> obama care is really exhibit number one of the president's political philosophy. and that is that government knows better than people how to jngnoe ren ves. finney and robert reich.

professor reich, the romney flip flopping now, it's instantaous, now sepated by minutes. he's getting caught up desperately on the issue of health care as we just saw. romney care versus obama care. it seems like just -- and you've atehaviorally what we're seeing here in this candidate is a form of public panic. the flip-flopping is related to him being absolutely lost at this point as a candidat enhihari it's a form of desperation. what this candidate is displaying is a lot of different voices yelling into his ear from different aides, saying you've got to be this kind of candidate.

some of them are saying in response to that 4 video, you' go css so all day today, romney in ohio was going around saying his heart aches for people who are unemployed. he is proud of what he did in health care in massachusetts. he's proud of the entitlements he created. but the same rney hearing from ob sin tther er ear is back to the right wing craziness that has characterize the the republican party for years now. and he wants to appeal to get out e vo amo thease. >> we know he's been criticized and he's been criticized from this disc and you too, about not including the specifics in his tax proposals. he says he's going to cut every income tax re by 20%, but that's going tbe balanced ho ces deductions.

let's listen to how he talked about that today. >> small businesses typically pay x at the individual tax rate. so our individual income taxes are once i want to reform. make them simpler. inthe tes down. xepingugt but by ringing rates down we'll be able to let small businesses keep more of their money -- >> so karen finney, there is with the staard message up to today, which is i want to bring thtewn and then the next sentence is, but don't be expecting a huge tax cut because i'm also going to lower deductions. his problem is we've asked him for specifics. he didn't give us any, but he sure left his audience confused wihe hidt. >> well, i almost expected him to say you free loaders, don't expect a big tax cut. just yesterday he admitted that president obama did not cut taxes on the middle class. so this guy doesn't know if he's

coming or going. i think what you're showing is quinesiallth exifiehis problems. this campaign is trying to be all things to all people without be a core and center narrative about who he is and what he's trying to accomplish. so much of what we're seeing is not just desperation, but it's trying to please or appease all these different audiences. ane onsisnc plays into his fundamental flaw as a candidate, which is he's not trust worthy. opanruim so if you're an undecided voter sitting at home and you see yesterday he said the thing about obama, today he says don't expect a big tax cut, you're thinking i don't know what this guy is going to do. the incompetence in that, the uncertainty of that is not something you can afrd when u're cengoup nst an incumbent president. >> some republicans are saying let romney be romney.

the obm is let romney be romney, is that there is no romney to be. >> he's been flailing around trying to prove that he cares about 100% of the population for a week now. let's listen to one of his least eloquent defenders makes the case. >> i know some of u people are exd t ey but the bottom line is folks, i don't care who you are, if you are a gay, one-armed amputee on the upper west side, there's not one thing mitt romney has done to you yet. and there's not one thinmitt romney plans on doing to you. but whatever your economic circumstance is, mitt romney has had nothing to do with it. so bob reich, i guess he's right there for every gay

whenever paul ryan or any other republican starts talking about traditional marriage, they ther don't know what they're talking about, or especially in the case of mitt romney, they're lying. that's next in the rewrite. if you are one of the millions of men who have used androgel 1%, there's big news. presenting androgel 1.62%. both are used to treat n with low testosterone. ndl 1.% is from the makers of the number one prescribed testosterone replacement therapy. it raises your testosterone levels, and... is concentrated, so you could use less gel. and with androgel 1.62%, you can save on your montprescripti. mance dosi andpplicationites between these products differ. women and children should avoid contact with application sites. discontinue androgel and call your doctor if you see unexpected signs of early puberty in a child, or, signs in a woman which may include changes in body hair or a lge increase in acne, possibly duto de eur men with breast cancer

or who have or might have prostate cancer, and women who are, or may become pregnant or are breast feeding should not use anogel. serious side effects include worsening of an enlarged prostate, possible increased risk of prostate cancer, lower sperm count, swelling of anes, feet, or body, enlaedpal st problems breathing during sleep, and blood clots in the legs. tell your doctor about your medical conditions and medications, especially insulin, corticosteroids, or medicines to decrease blood clotting. talk to your doctor today about androgel 1.62% so you can use less gel. and you could pay as little as ten dollars a month for androgel 1.62%. what are you waiting for? this is big news. the things you talk about, like traditional marriage and family and entrepreneurship, these aren't values that are indicative to any one person of race or creed or color, these aren't american values, these are universal human values.

>> that was ul ryan lying to his dience in ohio. yocan waysell epubcan is lying when he uses the word values. let's listen to paul ryan lie once again. like tditial mriagand about family and entrepreneurship, she is aren't values that are indicative to any one person or race or creed or color. these are universal human value. >> first of all, entrepreneurship is not a vl u, it's an activity. family is not a value. some families have values. some don't. some families have good values. >> and we were taught to value everyone's contribution and treat everyone with respect. those are the values that barack and i and so many of y are il.i to ss o own that's who we are.

>>ut not all families value the same things. for example, while some families like the obama family, value education highlyothers value accuactiar more than they value economic achievement. >> this is fun! >> this is what we do all the time. >> i like to get down and dirty redneck style. >> she values down and dirty. people have different values. and then, there's that other value paul ryan lied about. the thing he and other reblicans love to call icf se, not valge.

at all. marriage is a living arrangement. marriage is a legal agreement. marriage can be a religion-based definition of a relationship. please note that i did not say a religion-based definitn between two people. because religion has always allowed, and still allows, for marriages between one man and more than one woman at the same time. fac throust n ory,he mt traditional, which is to say the most popular form of marriage has been between one man and many women at the same time. and throughout human history, the other most traditional compent mare ha was arranged. not by the two people who marry, but by the parents of the two people who marry.

this thing that mitt romney and paul ryan call traditional marriage, the marriage that is a union between only one man and onnean nrrd by their parents, is a tradition that is not as old as the federal government. the bible esn't just sanction polygamy, it advisesen how to dori the bie also notes that king solomon had, quote, 700 wives of royal birth. and 300 concubines. if paul ry were to actually beme vice president ryanhe would find himself in countries shaking hands with and smiling at government officials who are polimyists. legal polygamyists. and vice presidentyan would be
